a bit about me

My name is Gina Emerson and I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Boise, Idaho. I have always appreciated portraiture, as well as photojournalism. From the early days of my youth, my parents always had National Geographic lined up on their shelves and I remember spending hours browsing those intriguing images of things and places from around the world. The photographs spoke to me and I can now see that with my own children, who would probably tell you National Geographic is their favorite magazine.

To describe my wedding photography style, I would say that it leans heavy toward photojournalism, capturing YOU accurately on your wedding day with all the beautiful details as they unfold. But I also love elegant portraits and believe they are important to balance out your collection of photographs from the day. My approach is personable, non-intrusive, and natural as we work together to capture the uniqueness of you and your loved ones on your wedding day. And for those considering my services for special events or portraits, I bring a similar style and the same passion.

Please take some time to browse my site and if you like what you see, leave a comment. I appreciate feedback and would love to hear from you.

Thank you for considering me as your photographer, it is an honor to be entrusted with your photographs.

Baby Ella and her parents are the sweetest family! We had a fun little mini session at the base of Mount Talbert on a chilly Sunday in October. At 3 months old, Ella was such a trooper and total cutie. You may remember Heathers maternity session from earlier this year. She is a wonderful mother and I think it shows. It was fun to watch Ken with baby Ella, he is one proud and loving papa. Congratulations again you guys on your beautiful family!
